Too many think that if it doesn't feel good - you're not following your passion. Bull. If you have a vision and you know that you have to climb a mountain to get to the top, you're taking the steps to land on your passion.

I don't pretend to have all the answers. But lately I've been implementing a little trick that has helped me. I think it can help you too.
